Characters in Search of an Author. Characterological Radicals in Andrei Monastyrsky’s Diary from 1981–1984. On the Problem of Ego-Documents in Conceptualism

Summary/Abstract: Andrey Monastyrsky’s personal notes are located in a multi-layered paradigm of contexts. Crossing the boundary separating the intimate, private from the public occurred in 2014, when the Diary was published in a small series of publications «Library of Moscow Conceptualism by German Titov». It was presented to a wide audience, not only dedicated, but also far from any direct interaction with the environment and the reference circle, existing in a reality fundamentally different from that which became the reason for the birth of the diary entries of 1981–1984. Gaining public status, a hard exit from the intimate zone, is comparable to the destruction of an airtight structure. 30 years separate the creation of private documentation from its new book format. This is a necessary and sufficient time to complete a number of political, social processes, and generational change. The humanities have yet to analyze the metamorphoses that occurred both with the author of the diary himself and with the interference of contexts.
